Time to look back at 2025 one more time.
My annual Doctor Who In Memoriam is on You Tube now.
Please watch, like and circulate.
Oh, and please just be nice about it and Doctor Who as there are plenty of other places you can be otherwise.

I’m just nipping off social media for a bit; I can feel it grating at me and irritating my angst, which isn’t healthy. See you soon, look after each other 🥰
Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
Xmas Done Got Funky! (Thanks 🙏 to @driftrecords.com) 🎄🎅🥳

People: Why don’t you like football?
Me: 👇
Also me: 🤢
The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

This is adorable. Mariah Carey's Christmas classic but reimagined in 1940s Andrews Sisters style by the wonderful Postmodern Jukebox. The harmonies are *chef's kiss* www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bl9...

S’alright. It’s my own prejudice preventing me. I’m sure I’ll be missing a good drama. 🎭
Thanks Baggie, but as it’s about football I’m probably out 😬 - hope you enjoy it! 😁

Don’t worry, Mariah loves you. She loves everyone! 😁🎄
Because she doesn’t get enough love, and because I’m having one of those 'why am I like this?' moments... something daft for everyone’s favourite character the writers forgot they’d brought to the studio, Nyssa. #DoctorWho
😱
Both bangers, of course! I used to say I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day was my favourite festive song ever but then Mariah came along and all bets have been off ever since. Can’t help it. All I Want For Christmas is the bestive festive song.
Isn’t it amazing how much a song or band - or any art really - can affect us, even after so long? That’s true immortality. Embrace and enjoy the emotion 🫂

It’s good isn’t it?! 😁 A lot of fun 🥳
Already updating my Christmas playlist to include a cardinal omission - Mary’s Boy Child / Oh My Lord by Boney M - and to add Rockin’ Robin by The Hollies - double whammy there! - which automatically leads to the inclusion of the mashup Smells Like Rockin’ Robin - not heard it before? …

Great culture can save lives. Literally.
Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard
Evolved over many years. I love a change every now and then, discovering an old tune, or adding a new one. I didn’t mention Katherine Jenkyns’ Dr Who song, Silence Is All You Know! That’s a favourite 🤩
